Churches and their staff may be interested to learn more about a new Illinois retirement savings program.
The Illinois Secure Choice Savings Program Act is a state-facilitated, mandated retirement savings program for employers that have five or more employees who are issued a W-2 and that do not already offer an employer-sponsored retirement plan. This mandate serves as a payroll function in which a local church deducts an employee’s elected contributions from their paycheck to contribute to a state-facilitated Roth IRA retirement savings program. Local churches that have fewer than five employees who receive a W-2 are exempt from participating in Illinois Secure Choice, as are local churches that sponsor a retirement plan for their employees.
Employees should visit the Illinois Secure Choice website for more information regarding making contribution elections or speak with their personal financial advisor.
